Abstract

Colonialism in the digital era does not require armies, weapons and ships, argues Dhwani Goel (LSE). All you need is a tech giant that has captured the digital markets of the Global South, a government willing to push for the global liberalization of e-commerce, and an international organization that prioritizes corporate interests in rule-making.
